And there is a movement in Congress to shut off exports unless Japan restores the Open Door in China As this chart indicates, what Japan buys from the United States is more important to her than what she sells us The figures are for the first 11 months of 1939. In that period, our imports from Japan increased $27,000,000 over the same period in 1938, the higher prices of raw silk accounting for most of the gain. In the same period, our ex- ports to Japan dropped about $7.- 000,000, Part of this was due to the unofficial boycott on the sale of military aviation material. At the same time, big increases were shown in the sales of such war ma- terial as fron, steel scrap and cop- per. i . ‘COMES BACK FROM SOUTH WITH CAST NO LONGER NEEDED George Heatherly, Juneau school- boy who went south some time ago with a cumbersome brace on a crip- pled leg—returned wreathed in smiles today—with his brace under | his arm and his bad leg apparently as sound as any youth’s.

He has turned down half a dozen writers who wanted to make a book of his exploits and “wouldn't have any truck” with persistent movie producers. There are some things, Dalton hints darkly, that are better unteld. The old-timer says he is a rela- tive of the Dalton boys, who ranked with the Jameses and the Youngers as western desperadoes, but he was not a member of their gang. How- ever, he carries the scars of several gun frays and says he saw Wild Bill Hickock killed in a gunfight at Deadwood, S. D.

Leo White, president of the Pacific Canned Salmon Dis- tributors Association who has just returned from the annual conven- tions of the National Food Brokers Association and the National Can- ners Association, held in Chicago late in January. “Because wholesalers have been able to make a profit on their canned salmon sales during recent months, they have been pushing this food, and are anxious to continue selling as much canned salmon as possi- ble. Retail prices have been held as low as possible, because whole- salers and brokers realize that higher prices are going to reduce their sales and limit consumption. “At the present time, in most mar- kets, canned salmon is still selling at below replacement costs. Tall Pink salmon has been selling at, about 12'% cents per can, but the| average price has now advanced to about 14 or 15 cents. “When the retail price is fully ad-l justed to present cost of producing and selling salmon, a good many customers will probably turn to a | less costly food. This is the danger that distributors are now pointing |out,” White said. “Canned California mackerel and California sardines are still priced | very reasonably, and some distrib- “! lutors have expressed an intention of confining their efforts to these items rather than working on high- homa Jack says vigorously. “When er priced pink and chum salmon.
